Apollo laser takes down 200 drones unplugged

Australian defense company Electro Optic Systems (EOS) has unveiled its Apollo High Energy Laser Weapon (HELW) that pumps out up to 150 kW of power yet can take out 200 medium-sized drones running on its own internal power supply.

Lasers are often seen these days as a logical defense against the increasing threat posed by weaponized drones. The advantages of drones is that they are inexpensive, small, hard to detect, and can be sent in large numbers to overwhelm air defenses. Meanwhile, lasers travel at the speed of light, can engage with multiple targets, and are famous for their dollar-a-shot ammunition costs.

US senate claims China used some electromagnetic gun in Galwan to melt Indian soldiers.

Note..I don’t know how true this is but it does not seem impossible either.

World powers have been developing all kinds of crazy weapons nowadays.

If ever our soldier got melted how come we haven’t fried their arses?

Cause then they’ll fry mudijis a$$.
Whole problem started with the way he was cozying up with america. The way russia doesnt want NATO in ukraine, China doesnt want a US ally beside it.
IF he hadnt gone and been so chummy with Trump back then, things would have been different. Sad part is china assumed the worst and hit us, and on the other side, the huggin and ab ki baar trump sarkaar with dolund didnt get us anything and now they too are targetting us. Only mudiji is capable of such a feat. Taking two friends and turning them both enemies.

Completely wrong analysis Imo.

Taking two friends and turning them both enemies.

I dont know in which parallel universe you saw China and America as a friend before Modi.

China has been Salami Slicing India since independence now even when Congress was there.
We have been having skirmishes with China since Congress time and lost lot of territory back then also but Congress manage to keep it all hush hush.

it was during Modi that Galwan and Doklam standoff happen and India started to take more tough stand and media too started reporting.

Rajiv Gandhi declined Deng Xiaoping’s proposal to solve Long time border dispute way back in 1980s when China and India were almost on Par and could negotiate better instead of position from Power but he declined to take that forward.

otherwise we could have solved our issue with China today and be focusing mostly on Pakistan. ( yes China would have not stopped encouraging Pakistan but atleast our Eastern command could have faced less pressure)

China has been building road right across POK since congress time. Have you ever heard Congress taking any action about it.
They did not even let media make much noise about it and by the time BJP came damage was done.

Please note i am not happy with how BJP too has handled China but I still think they have done a slight better job and making the chinese know that India will not be a simple pushover.

China plays its game much different . It is using Pakistan as its barking dog and making India vulnerable on its Northern borders .

Now coming to America as a friend.
When exactly was America our friends? a country that sent its largest navy force with nuclear weapons to attack us and to help another country continue with genocide ..Can that kind of nation be anyone’s friend?

Not even NATO and Europe sees America as friends . Forget about India.
Germany even cautioned Europe about buying weapons from America due to " kill switch"
France one of the major powers was fu**ed doggy style by America in submarine deal with Australia. France even called its ambassador from USA iirc.

No country in the world looks at America as a friend and if they do they deserve what it is coming to them.

India and America see themselves as just partners in certain areas and Modi was trying to cash in. India- America too have a defence pact you know and it was signed during Modi’s time. Which allows India to procure weapons on immediate basis during war from America.

Trump is very unpredictable for anyone. India has manage to deal with that pretty decently and keeping its sovereignty strong.Standing upto America and Europe by buying Russian OIl even during tremendous pressure is a testament of India’s dynamic foreign policy today.

the world is changing at very rapid speed. Understand that no one is friend in geopolitics.
At most I even call Russia ,Israel and France as reliable partners of India and not exactly true friends.

India’s challenges are much more complicated than you and me or most analysis can ever get it completely right but atleast somethings is above Modi and congress and that is India is not coming under pressure like the West was expecting.

India is focusing more on developing its own weapons and arms industry than ever before to stop relying on many nations.

Had congress started working on this decades ago. India would have been at much better position today.

I know I will come across again as Andhbhakt for many even though I have spoken many times against BJP too here but I dont care speaking out my mind.

I think we did kill many chinese soldiers too.
India lost about 21 soldiers but according to reports China lost 46 soldiers.

However, India did had to back off from a point which it was already controlling and turn it into No man’s land so Chinese manage to push India actually even though they too didnt gain much.

Don’t give too much credence to statements coming from US senators. Two reason for this statement:

  1. Create another point of friction between Indian and China after the recent meet, to not veer India away too much from US military purchases.
  2. Probably has a military contractor lobbying him to push for funds for laser weapon development.

I am not . I even mentioned about this not looking true.
However, We must acknowledge laser weapons and advanced weapons are quickly becoming part of China’s arsenal.

Something India is taking note of and so is the world.

Even India has developed a laser weapon system similar to Israel’s newly developed laser system.

Look here: DRDO’s Sahastra Shakti: Advanced Laser Weapon System

Initially DRDO named it as Saraswathi when it was just a prototype but later renamed it for mass production.

I only read half of your stuff. It seems to be mostly BJP bhakts created history not real history.
As for salami slicing, Nehru first sent Indian army on an expedition and they got large amounts of territories that India didnt think was its. Then the war happened, but china went back. So sure, it might be taking some back, and the biggest example of salami slicing is under Mudi so I dont get why you’re complaining lmao. Its about 4000sqkm in ladhak etc.

Again I dont argue with bhakts. Live in your alternate lands. If China wasnt a friend why did Mudiji meet Winne the pooh so many times? lmao
All of the current state of affairs is a direct result of Mudi’s policy now. All the good effects of MMS’s policies have run its time. Now the real amrit kaal begins.

This whole “had congress started it before” thing has run its course in 11yrs bro. Congress made India a nuclear nation. Had it been Mudji most of the Nuclear budget would have been spent on ads that India will become nuclear by 2050. Just like Indian roads were going to be like America since 2016, 2018, 2023 and 2025. Even petrol is now adulterated. So FFS, try giving these fake reasons to someone else.

Everything Congress could have done 50yrs ago, but this senile grandpa cant do anything in 11yrs?

India had to? hahahahaha

Modi made India do it. HE EFFECTIVELY CONCEDED THE TERRITORY. Its so cool that when its happens during congress, its salami slicing. And when it happens in BJP its “India had to bro, we had no choice bro, very sad bro, what can mudji do brooo”

Everyone can see through the above comment whose showing real bhakti here.

The way you glorifying Congress is 10 times more dangerous than even andhbhakt imo.

Very conveniently took a part of my comment and called it Bhakt.

i don’t know what history you have learnt about India- China.

Nehru has said in Parliament as per record when Chinese were claiming Aksai Chin that not even a blade of grass grows there as if nothing matter even if China takes it.

To which a one of the minister ( Tyagi commerce minister ) pointed out his bald head and said " Mr, Nehru no hair grows here"…should we give our head to China

This is on record by your beloved Nehru.

Try to atleast learn more about facts in details before just glorying any leaders.

As for " India had too" wala part.
I also said I am not happy with BJP either handling of China but you conveniently avoided it .

Also there is one more important point.
General Thimaya had warned Nehru about China’s ambitions and India not being prepared but Nehru neglected that too.

Nehru was known to be short sighted and a poor leader.
( Again not saying everything he did was wrong )

But he definitely was not India needed to start with.

See, we currently don’t have an iota of sense how Indian psych was before independence, how our early strong leaders took us forward.

Was going through (not reading) the book “I too had a dream“. Such informative history is being negated these days by the anti-Nehru, anti-Gandhi, narratives, etc.

All these have bit just repercussions, but humane impact.

17

Whatever I quoted about Nehru is little but with facts.

Nehru had other blunders too which is also highly debateable and all that came from Then General and Army chiefs. I can even share the quote of Sam Manekshaw on record where he said Nehru was not interested to send Army to Kashmir when it was invaded by Pakistan.

We had almost lost Kashmir because of him procrastinating.

Anyone with open mind and not keeping everything in their own bhakt mode will feel some of his decisions were short-sighted.

another example is the Indus water treaty. I have shared whatever the facts are in the open and I think I even posted BBC reporting on it so that it was not just Indian media pov.

I dont know how he agreed to such a treaty which allows Pakistan with almost 80% water and worst is he did not even think of exit point for that treaty.

I understand what is going on in the country. The whole anti-Nehru and Anti-Gandhi and narratives you are talking about do not influence my thinking as I try to make whatever my opinion is on as much as actual facts available from those days and as much unbiased reports I can find.

Problem is as long as I am criticizing ruling Govt. all is well but the moment I have something not so pleasing to say about Congress it seems to hurt few people. Which makes me wonder who the actual bhakts are?

Anyways that is part and parcel of politics discussion nowdays so does not bother me .

gone are the days when having no opinion was the norm.

these days everyone is supposed to and does have some sort of strong political opinion, and realistically our country have only 2 practical sides/ parties to form union govt, everyone takes one side or another,

and intensity of these political thoughts have been increased a lot, thanks to shortened attention span due to social media and the trend of whoever is louder is heard the most.

If you understand what is going on in the country, that is a great capability. Which is very difficult to achieve.

As far as anti-Nehru narratives, etc., the more you learn the better. Am not even commenting about Nehru as an Individual, but root causes behind his motives, or even if we ignore him, lot of leaders of those times where giants on whose shoulders we are standing now. Their ideals and ideologies took us till here, it’s silly easy to ignore, stymie or mock now, but those guys really set some very strong precedent. Much of which is drowned now in political propaganda. We weren’t kangs’nd all, unlike what oranges propagate now. Real world situation was beyond pathetic, we don’t talk about that.
To an extend, is still pathetic even now - reason why dtrump could callously put $100k charges on h1b, etc., etc.

btw, am agnostic to politics in general. Mudikakka is current PM, will support his policies internationally till it help India, but will clearly criticize locally. And will prefer to dissociate from gobarwashing history.

I know one thing that Nehru never said China has not attacked India. He was never scared. He made sure India was prepared after that betrayal.

But what does Modu ji have to say after so many soldiers died? And we have videos of the fights too? :joy::joy:
